On any given Friday, thousands upon thousands (maybe even millions) of Twitter users enter the hashtag #FollowFriday (or #FF), followed by one or more “mentions.”  While you don’t really need to know much about Twitter, hashtags or mentions (foreign terms to anyone unfamiliar with Tweeting), you might be interested in the concept of FollowFriday.  The idea is for users to share the names of other “interesting people” that they follow and think you should too.  These recommendations serve as positive comment cards for the digitally inclined.
